Following are two messages cross-posted from Delphi at Ed Gresick's
request.  I personally strongly suggest that folks give this offer
serious consideration, as we really need to have a common graphics
platform to facilitate sharing of applications that come out of our
small OSK programming community (MM/1, System IV & V, TC70, KiX\x0,
PT68K, etc.).

Several active members of the MM/1 programming community have signed
up their support for Delmar's G-Windows port for the MM/1.  And now
David Graham (Blackhawk Enterprises, the new MM/1 distributor), has
also voiced support for G-Windows as an optional windowing system
for the system.

The G-Windows windowing/GUI environment, including file manager,
desktop, and other facilities and utilities, will be $200.  A very
comprehensive development library is available separately for program
developers.

Contact Delmar Co at 302-378-2555 for further information.

     GWindows on MM/1
  From: NIMITZ       To: ALL

I talked to Ed Gresick today.   I've said before, and still feel, that while
GWindows is not appropriate as the standard windowin system on a personal
system, that it is advantageous for it to be available on any OSK platform.
So, Ed has  agreed to keep his offer open for 2 more months,until February
28th, 1994.  Thanks, Ed! This is especially important to me, as I wish
GWindows to be available as an OPTION, for programmers, though I will
continue to support KWindows, and work for it's continued growth.     Good
luck with getting those 20 orders Ed!

 I wish to confirm David Graham's (NIMITZ) statement regarding extending
 my offer to port G-WINDOWS to the MM/1 until February 28, 1994 in message
 #84126.  I'm willing to do this since Dave has endorsed G-WINDOWS as an
 optional windowing/GUI system for the MM/1.  Unless I hear otherwise from
 the individuals who have already ordered G-WINDOWS, I will keep their
 orders open on the books.

 I appreciate Dave's endorsement and believe this will result in neccessary
 additional orders.
